Hi guys, welcome to my first thread in the "off topic" section.
Today i'll be shedding light on some issues in things i'll post from time to time under "Awareness"
Firstly, check in question
Do you know how much water ya'll use?
An average American uses 100 gallons or 378 litres of water everyday.
Secondly, the issue at hand.
I believe many of you might not have heard of this issue before.
It is about the Cape Town water crisis. Water is soon running out and if water goes below the 10% mark in the resevoir, people will be only allowed a ration of 25 litres of water every day (Morris, 2018, Telegraph). Day Zero will be on April 12th unless people do something about it.
Here's a useful video link.

Thirdly, why you are reading this
Most if not all of us have access to clean water everyday, but have we taken things for granted? Water is wasted by many of us everyday, and it is disheartening to see people wasting buckets of them, when all some people may live on is just a bucket of water.
Could all of us just take simple steps to save water? For example brush using a cup of water instead of a running tap, or take shorter showers.
Here are some tips.

Finally
I really don't care if hardly anyone reads this, i just want to let some of you caring people be more aware of society's issues. Please. The next time you get to enjoy something, never take anything for granted.
Peace
 
Here is another awareness: Did you know, it takes 1,800 gallons for one pound of beef? This is why I am vegetarian, and I tell others to be the same.

Not drinking water and not taking bath is not necessary. These will eventually cause more problems(dehydration, spread of disease, etc.) but limiting bath time and using minimum resources can make a change. The solution to this problem is getting more water. Hopefully, there will be technology that will change seawater into drinkable water.

They have it already, but scientists are working to improve it so I heard. Also, is being a vegan hard and stuff? In sense of people, really— dont you ever get made fun of for being vegan? And judged because of some “annoying” organizations that people criticize about (cough. PETA)? Also, what is the point of the concept of not eating meat farmed from farms? Especially if some farm animals arent adapted to the wild anymore? And what about fish tanks? Do you think its abuse? Some fish, like the Red-Tailed Shark, are thriving in numbers in captivity although the wild population is dwindling?

I’ll be quiet now

The thing about animals is that they are very special just like humans. They will eventually be able to adapt to the environment. And not all domesticated animals need to be free, because they don't just provide meat. Like cows, they give a lot of milk. So much that the government throws it away if not sold/expired. If this milk was distributed to people, then no one would starve from hunger.

Ah, alright. Im okay with vegetarians and vegans all around, but some can be really annoying tbh. I dont really like animal abuse; and as long as farm animals like cows and pigs get killed humanely, I dont see the problem
